Jeff Reimer

I grew up on a grain and livestock farm in Illinois, discovered economics in college, spent time living in Bangladesh and the Dominican Republic, and since 2005 have been a professor of applied economics at Oregon State University in Corvallis.  I study the economics of agriculture not only because of my personal background in agriculture, but because it touches everyone's life in a fundamental way, and is a unique, innovative, and dynamic part of the economy.
